Muscle Beach Party – The United Artists Sessions
CD (Item 605986) United Artists/Real Gone, Early 60s — Condition: New Copy
Muscle Beach Party – and a whole lot more – a host of rockin 60s numbers from the young Frankie Avalon! Frankie may have started out as a kiddie star, but by the time of these sides he was a much more mature rocker – one who brought a nice sort of sweetness to the vocals he laid down on screen in a host of well-screened 60s beach party films – with more than enough depth to match some of the bigger surf-styled singers of his generation! And sure, Avalon wasn't ever going to challenge the Wilson brothers, but he did know how to swing a twisting groove with the best of them – as you'll hear on this sweet collection of numbers recorded for United Artists – most of which have a twangy approach that's right up there with Capitol efforts of this type at the time. The set features the full Muscle Beach Party album, plus other singles in stereo – and even four tracks from the soundtrack to I'll Take Sweden. Titles include "More", "Muscle Beach Party", "Surfer's Holiday", "A Boy Needs A Girl", "Beach Party", "Nevertheless", "Days Of Wine & Roses", "The Bells Keep Ringin", "New Fangled Jingle Jangle Swimming Suit From Paris", "Every Girl Should Get Married", "Don't Make Fun Of Me", "I'll Take Sweden", and "The Stolen Hour". (Nice LP-styled cover, too!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
